Diagnosis. Poeciloneta is similar to Lepthyphantes Menge, 1866 from which it is distinguished by having a very long and narrow lamella characteristica, which is usually split into several parallel, spine-shaped branches. Poeciloneta females are distinguished by its pseudoscape and the spinulated metatarsi.
